Remnants of Skystone, Upcoming Flash MMO

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Anyone for a Steampunk MMO?  Upcoming from the Flipline developer, and slated for release on the Kongregate site (known for free to play, Flash based games), Remnants of Skystone is a very Steampunk multiplayer game featuring character creation (look for gas masks, spats, goggles, brass cuffs and the most stunning facial hair I’ve yet seen [...]

StormWinds – Flash Based Steampunk Defence Game

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Mr Xenocryst wrote to point out a lovely little Flash game called StormWinds from Hero Interactive.  It reminds me a little of the Steampunk setting in the Hungry City Chronicles as you are charged with defending your home in the valley beyond the mountain pass from the hoards of attacking airbourne enemies.  Each level sees [...]

Zeppelin – Giants of the Sky, Game

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

There is a group of people who like Zeppelins, and a group of people that like hardcore business simulation games for their computers, and in the small but terribly interesting area where those two groups of people overlap, there is the game Zeppelin – Giants of the Sky on DOS and Amiga.
A curious but somehow [...]

Covert Front – Flash Adventure Game

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Over at Neatorama, they just posted about a new Flash based adventure point and click game set in 1904 called Covert Front.  This, episode one, seems to tell the tale of Europe at war, and several important scientists gone missing – you, a beautiful and mysterious agent are sent to investigate another important man who [...]

Mission: Red Planet Board Game

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Mission: Red Planet by Asmodee Editions is an apparently family friendly board game of strategy and luck that very much sets itself in a Steampunk universe. Set at the time of the Paris World Fair, governments are racing for Mars to stake their claims on the mineral rich land there using recruiters, explorers, femme [...]

Warhammer Online: Steampunk Dwarves

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Mr Huang sent a link to the upcoming MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.  Now, despite being an ex-Warhammer Fantasy player myself, I’d let this slip off my radar a little, but looking at the concept art for the Dwarves has brought it all back – and with rivets on!  There’s Dwarven steamtrains, ironclads, what [...]

American McGee’s Alice – Clockwork Mad Hatter

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Mr J Roberts had a soft spot for the game, American McGee’s Alice – a violent variation on the tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Charles Dodgson (Lewis Caroll). In this variation, a broken Alice must return to a far darker Wonderland (though never exactly quite right in the first place) to do [...]

Automaton Part 1 – Flash Game

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Reader Thalarion sends word of a little flash based game called Automaton (part 1).  It tells the story of the fourth of four Steampunk styled automatons created originally for war, but now converted for peace.  Your creator (a brilliant, but very sad scientist) wants to send a message to an ally of his, but without [...]

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Oh my yes – this I could seriously see succeeding! There are some mod teams, that just look like they’re going to falter and fail, but The Dark Mod, a mod for Doom 3 that enables a very very Thief-like toolset, has all the markings of a mod that’s not only going to succeed, [...]

Mr Huang (Crabfu) very kindly pointed out this video on YouTube for the game Wachenröder, a Japanese language RPG/strategy game for the Sega Saturn. This is a video of the introduction to the game (a little meandering) showing some beautiful Steampunk backdrops – murky steamtrain stations, peculiar airship-variants, and silly-sized artillery. The game [...]
